A chance to celebrate.

The College hosted the Services Academy’s Graduation Parade for 2025.  Almost 200 Services Students from 11 academies marched onto the Waitākere College sports fields on Saturday, 18th October.  Academies from as far north as Kaitaia College and as far south as Queen Elizabeth College from Palmerston North attended the Parade. The Parade Commander was the 2024 Top Student from Tikipunga High School Kaian Burt. The Top Student award this year was presented to Isaac Meyer from Te Puke High School.  

The Waitākere Services Academy Leadership Award was presented to Marley Diener and the Top Student Award was presented to Shayla Roberts-Pa’u. The reviewing Officer this year was Lieutenant Colonel Mark Blythen, Commanding Officer, Youth Development Unit. 

 A special thank you to all of the families, friends, teachers and well wishers who made this day even more special.
